Judah Threatened with Invasion
4 “If you will (A)return, Israel,” declares the Lord,
“Then you should return to Me.
And (B)if you will put away your detestable things from My presence,
And will not waver,
2 And if you will (C)swear, ‘As the Lord lives,’
(D)In truth, in justice, and in righteousness;
Then the (E)nations will bless themselves in Him,
And (F)in Him they will boast.”

4 If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith Jehovah, if thou wilt return unto me, and [a]if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight; then shalt thou not be removed; 2 and thou shalt swear, As Jehovah liveth, in truth, in justice, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.
